We have finally found a site and dates for electro-music 2010!
Mark your calendars now for the weekend of Sept 10-12. It will be three full days, Friday through Sunday. The location is the Greenkill retreat center in Huguenot, NY (near Port Jervis). It's a great facility with plenty of space for all of our activities, plus on-site lodging and dining. Stay tuned for an official announcement in the near future.

There are many advantages over last year's venue. For one, we don't have to have the food in the same place as our concert venue. The rooms are dorm style, and t there are really nice lounges - beautiful actually - in the dorm buildings. Sheets, blankets, and towels are provided.

This year we can serve beer, and you can bring your own beverages if you prefer, as long as you don't drink them "in public". We interpret this to mean areas of the camp aren't reserved to electro-music 2010.

We'll have a big theater and a large multipurpose room for concerts, a nice sized room reserved for jams and such, and a beautiful comfortable library for lectures and workshops.

The grounds are beautiful for walks in nature.

The location is really nicely located for a rural facility. It's a 2 hour train from Penn Station in NYC. There is also a bus to Port Jervis from NYC. The camp will provide free pick up and drop off service for people coming on bus or train. I-84 goes right by the camp and it's a direct shot to Boston and points in New England.

From Philly, it's about a 2 hour drive up the NE Extension and then east on I-84. Don't use this as directions, just an idea.

The only bad news is that it is a bit more expensive than last years venue.
We expect the festival to cost about $320 a person for the three days and nights, with room and board. People who just come for the day with no meals will pay $30 a day. We can arrange meals on a daily basis, if necessary. Vegetarian meals will always be available. If vegan meals are requested, we will make the appropriate arrangements.

The rooms are nice but not luxurious. Most rooms are for 2 people. Showers and bath rooms are usually across the hall. There are several nice national chain motels in the area if those types of accommodations are desired.

Greg, Hong, and I visited and found the vibes to be very good. Weather at this location is very nice in September. Days can be warm and nights cool. In case of extreme weather, the dorms are heated. The conference venue itself is also air conditioned, if necessary. Easy access for loading and unloading equipment too.

I hope we get a good turn out this year. It promises to be the best electro-music festival ever. Please contact your friends and let them know about this event so they get electro-music 2010 on their schedules. See if we can get a lot of new people to come. As that famous Girl Scouting song goes: "Make new friends and cherish the old; one is silver and the other is gold."_________________--Howard
my music and other stuff

I will probably look for a nearby motel, as you mentioned "shower rooms" and I'm sorry to say I'm huge prude and insist on private showers. If I go, I will also request vegan meals for two (GF will probably come with) or maybe just ask around about good restaurants that can accommodate vegans. Or quite possible just an organic market where I can get my own stuff.

I hope I'm able to go. I'm helping my mom financially at the mo and we'll want to visit out of town family later in the year, so we'll have to wait and see. It does help that this is the last month I have to make car payments.

Howard, this is VERY exciting to hear. Thanks for all the details. Robin and I plan to do the festival and I promise this year will have some DIY gear to show off and play on ...

One question, I will assume for now there will be a 3 day rate with food without lodging on the premises? I hope this is not too premature to ask
